Interesting; he is clearly saying that they were ("as a field") "confident and wrong" to believe that "the economy would have been completely upended" by the appearance of a model as strong as GPT4. What seems

Wouldn't it be possible to use heat pumps, making radiators 100C or hotter while running GPUs much below that?

Or no one is to blame, if the mechanism of the regression is complex and non-obvious based just on the patch itself.

Regressions are bad and they should be avoided. Still, software engineering is a complex thing and regressions happened long time before coding agents were a thing. Unless one can pinpoint regression to changes that were more sloppy than th

I believe your point is not that it has never failed for anyone in the last few years after upgrade? Then, if the claim is that breakage is considerably worse than it used to be before using coding agents: it is possible, but I think it req

> Imagine math if we'd question the basic axioms. No need to imagine, it's enough to look into non-Euclidean geometry (obtained by excluding Euclid's fifth axiom), non-standard models of geometry, or reverse mathematics (s

These are not possible, as x can be 7 only if y is 7, and likewise for 8. Semantics isn't based on sets, but on non-deterministic assignments to variables: y is either 7 or 8 and x is either y or 2.

It's a social construct in the the same sense anything not directly verifiable using senses is. Is there an Eiffel tower in Paris? Most people haven't seen it, so they can only accept the social consensus that it is there. If one

For the people wondering what is that comment doing here: in Polish it means "what a mess".

TikTok is not good for getting deep understanding of things, but it is great for discovery. you can get familiar with the surface level so you have a better idea where you want to dive deeper

I like the idea - does it support .gitignore though? I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation and GitHub issues seem to be confusing in that regards. If it doesn't, it might be hard to use with tools that create tempora

Only if by "work involved" you mean burning lots of electricity with expensive GPUs/ASICs.

I fully agree, thousandfold price increases would suggest that processes that control prices in free market system had become unstable. In such cases I'd agree with state intervention. Fortunately it doesn't happen that often. &gt

When the price explodes, bakers may hire more people and bake bread during night and day, increasing the supply.

The manifesto seems to agree with that: > Utopia is not a destination we should ever expect to reach—it is a point on a compass.

Maybe there just is no objective "right" and it's better to have two biased stories with diverse biases instead of one trying its best to be unbiased.

My idea was: 1. Technician writes down their diagnosis 2. They submit it to the system 3. AI comes with its own analysis 4. Technician sees the outcome, they can update their assessment 5. Everything is saved into the system If one of techn

While I don't think AI should replace humans in describing medical images, it can be used to check if they might have missed something. Such AI-based description should be provided only after the human finishes analyzing the image, to

I assume that if he was made to step down from the CEO position, TSLA valuation would drop like a fly - so he could easily re-buy everything he would have sold. I don't think that's the path he is going to take, but it's not

I wanted to write its market cap being 1% of the gold market cap. Then I checked and it looks it has already happened, and I still don't consider Bitcoin successful, just a little bit crazier. I'd consider it successful if I could

Very interesting project! That is the first attempt I've seen at something I call "idiomatic code translation" - transpiling with result not only to be executed, but to be read and naturally included in existing codebases. I&

While there are many good critiques of Hyperloop, comparing its speed on half-kilometer test track to established technologies is not one. The article is joyfully bashing a strawman it has built on its own.

By coincidence, I finished reading that document yesterday. Really good one, it builds zk-SNARK understanding step by step. Sometimes though it possibly goes to deep in explaining basic concepts - I'm not sure if someone who didn'

Sure, my answer to that is that subjective experiences are learned in a chaotic process, so location of neurons representing the same color might be in different parts of our visual cortices. At the same time we learn patterns that exist in
